Phil Sander Memorial Undergraduate Conservation Scholarship
This scholarship honors the life of Phil Sander, a Wisconsin Conservation Hall of Fame inductee who passed away in 2006 at age 99. Sander’s contributions to conservation were extensive and often behind the scenes. Among them were his efforts to preserve and protect an endangered tract of native prairie along the Lake Michigan shoreline, which led to the creation of the Chiwaukee Prairie, now one of the largest original tracts of native prairie habitat in Wisconsin. Sander was dedicated to educating future generations of the importance of knowing, honoring and protecting the natural balance of our natural world.
